    Evolis vacuum circuit breakers from 1 to 24 kVEvolis circuit breaker is used to protect and control MV public or industrial

    distribution network.b Rated voltage 24 kV.b Short circuit breaking capacity up to 25 kA.b Rated normal current from 630 A to 2000 A.b Axial magnetic field (AMF) breaking technology.

    b Withdrawable version.

    The Evolis circuit breaker equips cubicles IF and BC at ratings of up to 24 kV.

    High electrical enduranceA magnetic field is applied in the axis of the vacuum interrupter contacts.This process maintains the arc in diffused mode even at high current values.It ensures optimal dispersion of the energy over the contact surface and avoidslocalised temperature rise.

    The advantages of this technique are:b a very compact vacuum interrupter,b low energy dissipation of the arc in the vacuum interrupters.Evolis is in conformity with the highest electrical endurance class(IEC 62271-100: class E2).

    High mechanical enduranceThe magnetic field is generated by a patented internal coil which surroundsthe contact area. This solution has many advantages:b a simplified and therefore reliable vacuum interrupter unit,b heavy duty contacts which do not distort under repeated switching operations.The RI control unit used on Evolis has the advantages of a system which has beenproven for 20 years in thousands of installations.Evolis is in conformity with the most demanding mechanical endurance class(IEC 62271-100: class M2).

    Operating mechanism descriptionEvolis range circuit breakers are actuated by a RI type operating mechanism,that ensures a switching device closing and opening rate that is independentof the operator.This operating mechanism, which can be motorised, can perform remote controlfunctions and enables fast reclosing cycles.This operating mechanism includes mechanical devices:b an energy storage mechanism stores the energy required in the springs,to close and then to open the device,b a manual lever-controlled arming device,b a mechanical opening and closing device using two push buttons situated

    on the front circuit breaker panel which are accessible with the cubicle door open(circuit breaker in the test position).For the door closed control unit (circuit breaker racked in): the circuit breaker canbe opened by controlling the propulsor unit.

    The reliability and dependability ofa cubicle is also assumed by the internal

    components, producing between thema coherent architecture.This technology provides users withthe best guarantee of continuity of servicefor their installations.

    Instrument transformers

    Voltage transformers

    b measuring, metering and monitoring devices,b relays or protective devices,b auxiliary LV sources for various types of switchgear.

    All these devices are protected and insulated from the MV section.They are in conformity with standard IEC 60044-1.Schneider Electric has drawn up a list of voltage transformers which are appropriatefor use with digital protection devices.They are installed at the bottom of the functional unit. The energized partis entirely encapsulated in an epoxy resin, which provides both electrical insulationand excellent mechanical strength.

    Current transformers

    Conventional current transformers are used to provide power to metering,measuring or control devices. They measure the value of primary current from 10 Ato 2500 A. They are in conformity with standard IEC 60044-2.Schneider Electric has drawn up a list of current transformers which are

    appropriate for use with digital protection devices in order to make it easierto determine accuracy characteristics.They are installed in the rear par t of the functional unit. The energized part isentirely encapsulated in an epoxy resin, which provides both electrical insulationand excellent mechanical strength.

    LPCT low power current transducer

    LPCTs are specific current sensors with a direct voltage output of the Low PowerCurrent Transducer type, in conformity with standard IEC 60044-8.LPCTs provide metering and protection functions.They are defined by:b the rated primary currentb the extended primary current

    b the accuracy limit primary current or the accuracy limit factor.These have a linear response over a large current range and do not start tosaturate until beyond the currents to be broken.

    Earthing switchAn earthing switch is used to earth and short-circuit the cable ends before workis performed on the cable connection compartment.In a VT functionnal unit, the earthing switch is used to earth the busbar of theswitchboard. This switch, with a making capacity, complies with IEC 60271-102and comprises:b a fast-acting closing mechanism independent of the operator,b a locking device which stops it from being operated until the circuit breakerhas been opened and withdrawn,b 3 voltage capacitive dividers incorporated into the insulators which support theterminal plates, and connected to the VPIS mounted on the front plate, to indicatewhether the cables are live or not.

    Voltage Presence Indicator System (VPIS)The VPIS, combined with the capacitive divider insulators of the power circuit unit,provides an indication by lights of the voltage presence on each phase of the maincircuit.The voltage presence indicator unit is installed on the front of the earthing switchoperating mechanism box.The voltage presence indicator unit covers two voltage ranges, in accordance

    with standard IEC 61958:b 10 to 24 kV.

    b Anticondensation heaters

    SM6 switchThe three rotating contacts are placed in an enclosure filled with gas to a relativepressure of 0.04 MPa (0.4 bars).The SF6 filled enclosure is of the sealed pressure system type. Sealing tightnessis always checked in the factory.

    b Safety

    vthe switch may be in one of three positions: closed, open or earthed,giving a natural interlocking system that prevents operator error.Moving contact rotation is driven by a fast acting mechanism that is independentof the operator.vthe device combines the breaking and disconnecting functions.

    vthe earthing switch has a short-circuit making capacity in compliancewith standards.

    Operating mechanism and auxiliariesCI2 double function operating mechanism

    b Switch function:

    vindependent closing in two steps: operating mechanism recharged by a hand lever or motor, stored energy released by a push button or trip unit,vindependent opening by push button (O) or trip unit.

    b Earthing switch function:

    vindependent closing by a hand lever.Operating energy is provided by the compression of a spring which causesthe contacts to close or open after the neutral point is passed.

    ConnectionsInstallation

    Switchgear resistance to ageing in a substation depends on3 key factors

    b The need for correctly made connectionsNew cold connecting technologies offer easy installation and favour durabilityin time. Their design means they can be used in polluted environments with harshatmospheres.b The impact of relative humidity

    The installing of a heating element is essential in climates with high relativehumidities and significant temperature differentials.b Ventilation control

    The dimensions of air vents must be appropriate for the dissipated energyin the substation. They must only sweep across the transformer environment.

    Cold connected terminalsSchneider Electrics experience has led it to favour this technology whereverpossible for optimum durability.The maximum acceptable cable cross-section for standard assemblies are:b630 mm2 for incomer or feeder cubicles with single-pole cables;b

    400 mm2

    for incomer or feeder cubicles with three-pole cables;b95 mm2 for transformer protection cubicles with fuses.Access to the compartment is only possible when the earthing switch is closed.Tightening torques for cables will be attained using a dynamo wrench set to 50 mN.
